Top 5 best smartphones announced at IFA 2019

Top 5 best smartphones announced at IFA 2019– As the tech event IFA 2019 is over, we can review all the announcements from one of the world’s biggest annual tech events. There were a few new phones announced from some of the biggest companies like Samsung, Nokia and Motorola, and a returning foldable face that we first heard of almost five months ago.

There is a conventional theme among the IFA 2019 smartphones
– they are all at the cheaper end of the market. This is no MWC 2019 (an annual
show with more of the focus of a smartphone), so we were not expecting new
high-end devices, and these are all the kind of phones most people will buy
anyway.

We have looked at all the new smartphone releases from IFA 2019 to decide which are the ones you should pay attention to and which one you can buy. So here is the list of ‘top 5 best smartphones announced at IFA 2019‘.

Top 5 best smartphones announced at IFA 2019

#1 Samsung Galaxy A90 5G

The Samsung Galaxy A90 5G is one of the first affordable 5G
phones. We don’t say it’s cheap, but it’s certainly more affordable than other
a lot of other 5G handsets.

Beyond its connectivity capabilities, the phone has some of
the features that make Samsung’s Galaxy A series of handsets real mid-range
contenders. It is bunched with a high-quality Super AMOLED display, powerful
4,500mAh battery, and impressive 3-camera array, helmed by a 48MP sensor.

This is certainly a handset to watch out for in the future,
especially if you’re keen to get in on the 5G hype without breaking the bank.

#2 Motorola One Zoom

The Motorola One series of smartphones is the company’s
attempt to impress in the mid-range segment, and its newest addition is the
Motorola One Zoom.

Packing four cameras (including, yes, a telephoto zoom lens,
as the name suggests), you’re probably going to be able to take fantastic
pictures on the device. They are the main camera, an optical zoom lens, an
ultra-wide-angle lens, and a depth sensor, so you’ll be able to take pictures
in a range of different situations.

That’s not all, and the One Zoom packs a complement of other
features. It seems like a worthy sibling to the One Vision and One Action, and
shows that the Motorola One series is something to take seriously.

#3 Nokia 7.2

HMD Global (the current owners of the Nokia brand) released
two new phones at IFA 2019. We’d argue the most impressive is the Nokia 7.2
thanks to one important addition.

It features a 48MP camera, the first to ever grace the rear
of a Nokia handset, and it’ll raise the handset from ‘fine mid-range camera
phone’ as the Nokia devices tend to be, to ‘serious mid-range contender’.

The rest of the phone has a middling range of specs and
stats, including an intriguing display and a sleek design, but it’s great to
see Nokia taking its photography sensibilities more seriously.

#4 Sony Xperia 5

The Sony compact is back. Well, sort of; meet the Sony Xperia 5. The handset takes after the Sony Xperia 1, with similar specs and design, but while the Xperia 1 was the same size as the Xperia 10 Plus, the Xperia 5 has roughly the same dimensions as the Xperia 10, which is to say it’s a bit smaller. It’s not quite as ‘compact’ as Sony’s retired Compact range, but it’s certainly a better size for your pocket.

#5 LG G8X ThinQ

With LG’s smartphones struggle to garner interest in recent
years, the company has been trying to find new features with which to win back
audience interest, and at the moment its pet project is a dual-screen tech.

The LG G8X ThinQ has a dual-screen attachment (unlike the
base LG G8 ThinQ, but like the LG V50 ThinQ), and it’s the best use of this
tech we’ve seen so far. In fact, this feels like the closest you can get to a
great foldable phone without actually waiting for that new tech to finally come
out.

The phone overall is a mixed bag, as the screen isn’t the greatest, and the design can be a bit bulky when you’ve got the second-screen attachment. But if dual-screen tech actually catches on, LG will certainly be at the forefront.
